Re: Watch Bald Eagle Family on Live Cam

Both of the precious babies have "branched" and within about 24 hours of each other, just like they hatched. They will practice going from the nest to the nearby limbs for a couple of weeks and then we can expect them to the actually fledge the nest; however, they will still hang around for another 6-8 weeks before striking out on their own for their great American Bald Eagle adventures. Hope that there are no accidental slips or falls before they are ready to actually fledge--it happens sometimes. If it happens too early it is difficult for them to get back to the nest and safety. Does anyone else here, check in on the nest from time to time?

Re: Watch Bald Eagle Family on Live Cam

Both babies up on an attic branch watching the people who are watching them. Over 3,400 people (computers) tuned in to the WebCam at 7:30 this morning and over 121-million views over the past six years that the CAM has been up! This is a very popular family and known the world over! They are now nearly 10 & 1/2 weeks old and generally bald eagle eaglets fledge the first time between 10-13 weeks of age. Could be any day now. The lovable E9 fledged (accidentally when he slipped from a branch) last year at 10 weeks and 2 days.

Re: Watch Bald Eagle Family on Live Cam

The first of the two babies fledged yesterday...with two perfect flights and landings...first to a snag where he sat for a couple-three hours and then a perfect flight back to the nest and a perfect landing!

Re: Watch Bald Eagle Family on Live Cam

The eaglets have left the natal area and have struck out on their bald eagle adventures. My wish for them are that they stay safe and have full bellies. The first year is hard on young bald eagles; but, mom and dad have done everything they can to ensure that they have the skills to make it. They generally hook up with vultures and travel with them because the vultures are good at finding food. I will miss watching them.

Be safe little ones....

Re: Watch Bald Eagle Family on Live Cam

A wonderful tribute covering from the hatching to their departure on their journey, hopefully for safe and long life and one day in about 5 years ,when their heads and tails turn white, begin their own families of bald eagles...
